Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5, its first public Mythos-class model, priced at half the cost of Mythos Preview

AI Judge changed title after evaluation, original title: "Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, its first Mythos-class model, claiming it outperforms all its previous systems"

The launch comes as Anthropic prepares for an IPO.

Anthropic's Fable 5 is out – the first Mythos-class model the public can use. A few things I found notable in the blog post, beyond it seeming like a very impressive model (I'm excited to try it out!):

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Matches the findings from a case study we ran showing that agents (Sonnet 4.6 at the time + others) were on par with human teams for de novo binder design https://www.adaptyvbio.com/blog/agents-vs-humans. They yielded similar hit rates and binding affinities. Tool use for binder design seems to have been "solved" even before Mythos.

A new data retention policy: 30 days of all traffic on Mythos-class models, wherever they're accessed, including third parties (e.g. AWS Bedrock). Not used for training, human access logged, deleted after 30 days. Meant to thwart misuse that a classifier for a single conversation would miss.

Harder to jailbreak than before: 1,000+ hours of external red-teaming turned up no universal jailbreak. Though the UK AISI "has made progress towards one" in a brief testing window. Maybe AISI will do it again?

They're setting up trusted-access programs for cyber + bio. Basically, a safeguarded model for everyone (Fable 5) – downgraded to Opus 4.8 if classifiers fire – the full-capability version for vetted users (Mythos 5).

They've also clearly put work into vision, where Claude has historically been poor. Fable 5 rebuilt a web app's source code from screenshots alone, and beat Pokémon FireRed with a minimal vision-only harness.

such a team effort and an intense sprint to build a great model
